The Medical Guru

Chapter 1364 It Worked Wonders on the Cold Uterus

“A new drug…”

Fang Qiu was slightly stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly thought of something. His eyes immediately lit up, and he said, “We can produce mugwort products!”

“Mugwort?”

When Jiang Miaoyu heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.

Mugwort, a kind of perennial herb with a strong fragrance, has different names nationwide. The whole grass could be used as medicine. It has the medicinal effects of calming, removing moisture, dispersing coldness, stopping bleeding, diminishing inflammation, relieving asthma, relieving a cough, preventing miscarriage, suppressing allergic reactions, and so on.

Notably, on the Dragon Boat Festival, folks would hang mugwort leaves before their doors to ward off ill luck and evil!

However…

Though mugwort could not kill demons and drive out evil spirits, it was an effective medicine.

In addition to various medicinal functions, moxibustion in Chinese Medicine needs mugwort. Moxibustion could treat diseases and prolong lives, according to ancient records.

The most famous example was recorded in the Old Book of Tang, the first classic historical work about the Tang dynasty. By frequently applying mild moxibustion on an acupoint Zusanli, Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty lived to 101 years old!

According to the modern science of acupuncture and moxibustion…

Regular moxibustion on acupoints like Zusanli, Qihai, and Shenque could benefit our health in many ways: nourishing vitality, consolidating constitutions, preventing diseases, preserving health, etc.

Modern studies showed that moxibustion could promote gastrointestinal motility, control the contracting of blood vessels, and stimulate the production of adrenal gland hormones and other beneficial things. Also, it could strengthen immunity.

And the key to moxibustion was mugwort!

In addition…

Researchers found that fumigating the living room with mugwort rolls was a good way to disinfect and sterilize. The experiments proved that fuming mugwort could kill 14 kinds of fungus on the skin. Beyond that, it had a certain degree of control over adenoviruses, rhinoviruses, flu viruses, herpesviruses, etc. Frequent moxibustion could be used to prevent diseases.

Due to the various effects of mugwort, some people added mugwort to pillows and cushions, which produced many great clinical effects.

Therefore…

Mugwort could not be compared to magic herbs in Chinese medicine, but it was a great medicine!

Of course, Jiang Miaoyu also knew all this.

Thus, her eyes sparkled when she heard Fang Qiu was going to make mugwort products.

“That’s a good idea.”

Jiang Miaoyu nodded in agreement.

“Then let’s focus on mugwort.”

Fang Qiu nodded to confirm it.

After that, he took action at once.

That afternoon, Fang Qiu spent the whole afternoon searching for information. He didn’t stop until the evening.

The next day…

Fang Qiu went straight to find fresh mugwort.

There was no mugwort in the desert of Beijiang, but this herb could be seen in most areas with water and plants like mountains, especially in the dendrobe cultivation base. Nanjiang was covered with this kind of herb.

Unfortunately, these places were too far away.

Helplessly, Fang Qiu could only search around the city nearby. Soon, he bought enough mugwort and took it back to the cultivation base. Then, he entered the pharmaceutical room equipped with all kinds of tools. There, his research and development process officially began.

Before he started, Fang Qiu already had an idea in his mind.

He wanted to make mugwort plasters!

Now, all kinds of mugwort products had occupied the pharmaceutical market. It was not easy to make a new medicine.

However…

Since there were a lot of external and internal mugwort medicines, why couldn’t he make mugwort plasters?

Moxibustion could ideally exert the efficacy of mugwort. Then, with mugwort plasters, people could do moxibustion at any time and place. No matter which body part had gone wrong, a mugwort plaster could solve the problem.

Fang Qiu began to make the product in his mind.

He spent more than two hours in the pharmaceutical room. Finally, he made the item he had imagined.

However…

The finished product looked like a heating pad or a warm uterus plaster.

Of course, as a Chinese Medicine doctor, Fang Qiu knew something about products like warm uterus plasters. Such plasters could give out heat and relieve the pain.

Mugwort plasters had the same function. In addition, it had many other effects, such as diminishing inflammation, invigorating blood circulation, dispelling cold, and clearing dampness.

The production was complete.

Without missing a beat, Fang Qiu put it on himself, ready to try it in person. He wanted to see how effective it was.

As a result, he found that…

On him, the plaster had the same effect as moxibustion. Indeed, it could promote blood circulation and remove congestion. Beyond that, it had a noticeable impact of expelling cold and moisture.

“Good stuff.”

Fang Qiu grinned.

In terms of the effect, the mugwort plaster would be an incredibly effective method in treating cold womb and period pain.

Most importantly, it was only made of ordinary mugwort. Plasters with mugwort cultivated by jade would give much better results. Long-term use of such plasters would thoroughly ease symptoms of the cold womb and period pain.

After the test…

Fang Qiu immediately left the base.

He came to the market of traditional Chinese medicine in Beijiang, bought some mugwort seeds, and planted them in the cultivation base.

Mugwort was not from Beijiang…

However, after searching for some information, Fang Qiu planned to grow mugwort because of the dry climate here. When growing in a favorable environment with jade and terrain, such mugweed would produce a better effect of medicine!

Anyway, he had a large piece of land, and many parts hadn’t yet been used.

After Fang Qiu came back with the mugwort seeds, he picked up a piece of land and sowed all his seeds. Then, this mugwort in this area would grow faster under the influence of jade and terrain.

Everything was done.

Fang Qiu let out a long breath.

“Next, let’s wait for a month.”

In a month, the mugwort would be ripe. At that time, he could start making plasters.

He finished his task.

Fang Qiu returned to his office.

“You’ve been busy the whole day. How’s it going? Have you worked out your new medicine product?”

He Xue, who had just been free, came in directly and asked with a smile.

“I will start producing the first batch in about a month.”

Fang Qiu explained with a smile.

“What is it?”

He Xue asked curiously, “Is it a medicine similar to the Root-Securing Pill and Earthly Immortal Pill?”

“They have some same effects but are not the same thing. At the very least, this product is not to be taken orally. It will be a plaster.”

Fang Qiu described his new medicine.

“A plaster?”

He Xue was slightly taken aback and asked, “A bone-muscle plaster?”

“A mugwort plaster.”

Fang Qiu shook his head, smiling, and asked, “Speaking of medicine plasters, shouldn’t you girls first think of warm uterus plasters? How could bone-muscle plasters come to your mind in the first place?”

“Don’t tell me you developed warm uterus plasters!”

He Xue was stunned.

“You can think of it this way, but they are different.”

Fang Qiu explained further with a smile, “Mugwort plasters have the same impacts as warm uterus plasters. However, the latter doesn’t have the special function the former has. To some extent, mugwort plasters can gradually cure the symptoms of the cold womb and period pain, and many other diseases. Using it regularly can even help healthy people further improve their physical fitness. Even better, it can enhance immunity.”

“Just admit you developed warm uterus plasters.”

He Xue shook her head and sighed with emotion, “You’re indeed an intimate friend of women.”

“No, my new product will have more functions than warm uterus plasters.”

Fang Qiu gave a wry smile.

“Since you’ve already made the decision, I’ll find someone to help you design the appearance of your product.”

He Xue said, “Since our sales targets are not just women, the product and its appearance can’t be feminine. These products shouldn’t look like warm uterus plasters. At least, the product should look normal and be acceptable for men and women, old and young.”

“Yes, that’s exactly what I want.”

Fang Qiu nodded vigorously.

After that…

He Xue called the employees of the design department of the company.

A small team was soon set up and came to Fang Qiu’s office. Then, Fang Qiu told them about various factors like the product he designed, characters, and design preferences.

They were designing while modifying.

It took them more than an hour to complete the perfect design.

After Fang Qiu confirmed it…

He saw off the design team.

“It’s about time for you to find a place to see patients.”

After that, He Xue said, “It’s been a long time since you saw patients last time.”

“I saw patients before I went to crack down on counterfeit goods in the market for Chinese medicinal herbs, but a month has passed. Now, I should see patients somewhere.”

Fang Qiu nodded and began to choose the place on the Internet.

He Xue didn’t want to disturb him.

She turned around and went back to work.

Alone in his office, he searched for more than ten minutes. In the end, he chose Ta City in Beijiang.

This city was located at the northwest border of Beijiang.

Ta City and Kazoukh were separated only by a road!

Fang Qiu chose this place because he had never seen patients in Beijiang. Moreover, the weather here was too dry, and people in this place had unusual diseases.

In addition, someone online recommended this city. At last, Fang Qiu chose it.

Like before…

He called Ta City Chinese Medicine Hospital.

Upon receiving his call, Ta City Chinese Medicine Hospital immediately began to make arrangements. Meanwhile, Fang Qiu drove toward it.

It took him three or four hours to cover the several hundred kilometers.

He arrived at Ta City.

Instead of going straight to Ta City Chinese Medicine Hospital, Fang Qiu stayed in a hotel nearby. He didn’t walk into the hospital until six o’clock the next morning.

At this time…

There was only a small number of people lining up in the hospital.

However, the hospital director had already been waiting at the hospital gate.

When Fang Qiu emerged, the Ta City Chinese Medicine Hospital’s director ran forward to welcome him.

“Fang Qiu.”

Seeing Fang Qiu from a distance, the director reached out his hand and quickly walked over. He held Fang Qiu’s hand tightly and said, “Everything is ready on our side. Do you want to rest for a day or start directly?”

“I arrived last night. I’m in a good mental state now. Let’s get started.”

Fang Qiu answered.

“Okay, I’ll take you to get familiar with the consulting room first.”

The director personally took Fang Qiu to the consulting room. It was well-equipped with all kinds of medical instruments. Fang Qiu could find anything he needed except for traditional Chinese medicine here.

“Thank you.”

Fang Qiu thanked the director, happy with the way things had panned out.

“I’ve already asked someone to write a notice of you seeing patients here. It is displayed in the outpatient department. There will be a lot of patients coming to see you.”

The director smiled and said, “I should thank you instead. You chose to see patients in our hospital and treat patients in Ta City. It’s our hospital’s honor to provide you with the consulting room and medical tools!”

After that…

The dean left with a smile.

Then, he sent two young nurses to assist Fang Qiu.

Soon…

A large number of patients rushed over and lined up.

Fang Qiu began to diagnose patients in an orderly manner.

A whole day passed. Fang Qiu worked continuously for 24 hours.

At eight o’clock the following day, Fang Qiu was stunned to see the last patient enter the consulting room.

It was because…

The patient was a foreigner!

This Chinese Medicine Hospital’s director must have received the news. He rushed over and eagerly motioned for Fang Qiu to conquer him with his excellent Chinese Medicine skills!

But when Fang Qiu looked at the foreigner, he couldn’t help frowning.

This person…

He was not an ordinary person!
